2676
. (a) Any person, or his or her attorney, guardian, or
conservator may file a petition with the superior court of the county
in which he or she is confined for an order to prohibit the
administration upon him or her of an organic therapy. The filing of
such a petition shall constitute a refusal of consent or withdrawal
of any prior consent to an organic therapy. The clerk of the court
shall serve a copy of the petition, on the same day it is filed, upon
the warden.
(b) The warden shall file a response to the petition to prohibit
the enforced administration of any organic therapy. The response
shall be filed no later than 10 days after the filing of the
petition, unless the court grants a continuance not to exceed 10
additional days, and shall be personally served upon the person and
served upon his or her attorney, guardian, or conservator on the same
day as it is filed with the clerk of the superior court. The
response shall not constitute a petition for an order to proceed with
any organic therapy pursuant to Section 2675, which shall be the
exclusive procedure for authorization to administer any organic
therapy.
